Operating Instructions  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in injury or  
material property damage.  
WARNING  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury  
or death.  
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.  
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the  
product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest  
Alpine Service Center for repairing.  
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR  
ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR BOAT.  
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be  
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the boat in  
a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so  
may result in an accident.  
DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES.  
INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.  
When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+  
and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery  
may cause fire or personal injury.  
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL  
HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.  
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency  
vessel sirens or approaching vessels can be dangerous and may  
result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS  
IN A BOAT MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.  
PRECAUTIONS  
Product Cleaning  
Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more  
severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything  
else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.  
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.  
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of  
the boat and cause an accident.  
Temperature  
Be sure the temperature inside the boat is between +60°C (+140°F)  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.  
and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.  
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.  
Moisture Condensation  
DO NOT CONNECT A POWER SUPPLY OTHER THAN A DC  
12V NEGATIVE GROUND TYPE.  
You may notice the CD playback sound wavering due to  
condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and  
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.  
Failure to do so may result in accident or fire.  
Damaged Disc  
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE  
REACH OF CHILDREN.  
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing  
a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.  
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,  
consult a physician immediately.  
Maintenance  
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.  
Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service  
Station for servicing.  
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING  
FUSES.  
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.  
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.  
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.  
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,  
electric shock or other injury.  
DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN  
INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.  
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.

Never Attempt the Following  
Correct Handling  
Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the  
player by the automatic reloading mechanism.  
Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is  
off.  
Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not  
leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or  
gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.  
CORRECT  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
Inserting Discs  
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not  
attempt to load more than one disc.  
Disc Cleaning  
Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc.  
“Error” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc  
incorrectly. If “Error” continues to be displayed even though the  
disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch with a  
pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.  
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the  
CD player to skip. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface  
with a clean, soft cloth from the center of the disc to the outer edge.  
If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a  
solution of mild neutral detergent before cleaning the disc.  
Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in  
skips, but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.  
New Discs  
To prevent the CD from jamming, “Error” is displayed if discs with  
irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted incorrectly.  
When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial loading, use  
your finger to feel around the inside of the center hole and outside  
edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps or irregularities, this  
could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To remove the bumps, rub  
the inside edge of the hole and outside edge of the disc with a  
ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then insert the disc again.  
Disc Accessories  
There are various accessories available on the market for protecting  
the disc surface and improving sound quality. However, most of  
them will influence the thickness and/or diameter of the disc. Using  
such accessories can cause the disc to be out of standard  
specifications and may create operational problems. We  
recommend not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine  
CD players.

On Handling USB Memory  
To prevent malfunction or damage, note the following points.  
Read the USB memory Owner’s Manual thoroughly.  
Do not touch the terminals by hand or metal.  
Do not subject USB memory to excessive shock.  
Do not bend, drop, disassemble, modify or soak in the water.  
Avoid usage or storage in the following locations:  
Anywhere in the boat exposed to direct sunlight or high  
temperatures.  
Anywhere the possibility of high humidity or corrosive  
substances are present.  
Fix the USB memory in a location where driver operation will  
not be hindered.  
USB memory may not function correctly at high or low temperature.  
Use only certified USB memory. Note that even certified USB  
memory, may not function correctly depending on its type or state.

according to the terms of agreement.  
Depending on the settings of the USB memory type, memory state or  
encoding software, the unit may not play back or display properly.  
A file that is copy-protected (copyright protection) cannot be  
played back.  
USB memory may take time to start playback. If there is a  
particular file other than audio in the USB memory, it may take  
considerable time before the file is played back or searched.  
The unit can play back “mp3”, “wma” or “m4a” file extensions.  
Do not add the above extensions to a file other than audio data.  
This non-audio data will not be recognized. The resulting playback  
may contain noise that can damage speakers and/or amplifiers.  
It is recommended to back up important data on a personal computer.  
Do not remove the USB device while playback is in progress.  
Change SOURCE to something other than USB, then remove the  
USB device to prevent possible damage to its memory.  
Do not leave the disc in the boat or the unit for a long time.  
Never expose the disc to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity may  
damage the CD and you may not be able to play it again.  
To customers using CD-R/CD-RW  
If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last  
recording session was closed (finalized).  
Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback  
again.  
About media that can be played

marks below.  
If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot  
be guaranteed.  
You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordables)/CD-RWs (CD-ReWritables)  
which have been recorded only on audio devices. You can also play  
CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA/AAC formatted audio files.

Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired folder.  
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is  
capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios,  
reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their  
original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD  
quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios  
by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human  
ear or masked by other sounds.

MP3/WMA/AAC File  
Playing back MP3/WMA/AAC  
* The folder No./ folder Name will not be displayed if no file is  
contained in the folder.  
MP3/WMA/AAC files are prepared, then written to a CD-R,  
CD-RW using CD-R writing software or stored to a USB memory.  
A disc can hold up to 510 files/folders (including Root Folders),  
and the maximum number of folders is 255. This unit can  
recognize at least 100 folders (including root folder) and  
100 files per folder stored in USB memory.  
Playback may not be performed if a disc or USB memory  
exceeds the limitations described above.  
Do not make a file’s playback time more than 1 hour.  
Terminology  
Bit rate  
This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The  
higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger  
the files.  
Sampling rate  
Media supported  
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled  
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz,  
so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The  
higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the  
larger the volume of data.  
The media that this device can play back are CD-ROMs, CD-Rs,  
and CD-RWs.  
This device also can play back USB memory media.  
Corresponding File Systems  
This device supports discs formatted with ISO9660 Level 1 or  
Level 2.  
Encoding  
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into  
the specified audio compression format.  
Under the ISO9660 standard, there are some restrictions to  
remember.  
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root  
directory). The number of characters for a folder/file name is  
limited.  
Tag  
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names,  
etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.  
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),  
numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).  
Root folder  
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file  
system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created  
automatically for all burned discs.  
This device can play back discs in Joliet, Romeo, etc., and other  
standards that conform to ISO9660. However, sometimes the file  
names, folder names, etc., are not displayed correctly.  
This device also supports FAT 12/16/32 for USB memory device.  
Formats supported  
This device supports CD-ROM XA, Mixed Mode CD, Enhanced  
CD (CD-Extra) and Multi-Session.  
This device cannot correctly play back discs recorded with  
Track At Once or packet writing.

These values are the time correction values for the different  
speakers. Setting these values to make each sound reach the  
listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.  
About Time Correction  
Time Correction Value List  
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a boat vary widely  
due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances  
from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and  
frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the  
sound reaching the listener’s right versus the left ear.  
To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers  
closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased  
distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal  
distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging.  
The adjustment will be made for each speaker in 3.4cm steps.

Time correction eliminates the differences in the time required for the  
sound to reach the listening position.  
The time of the front left speaker is corrected by 5.1 ms so that its  
sound reaches the listening position at the same time as the sound of  
other speakers.

About the Crossover  
Output frequency range  
Crossover (X-OVER):  
Slope FLAT  
Slope adjusting  
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the  
frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled  
independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies  
for which they have been optimally designed.  
20 Hz  
(Different from actual display)  
HPF cut-off LPF cut-off  
frequency frequency  
The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter)  
of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or  
lows).  
Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction  
characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive  
network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please  
consult your authorized Alpine dealer.  
HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the  
higher frequencies to pass.  
LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the  
lower frequencies to pass.  
Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.  
The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.  
Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.  
Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as  
it may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency content.  
You cannot adjust the crossover frequency higher than the HPF or  
lower than the LPF.  
Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover  
frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended  
crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range  
outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers.  
For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer  
to the respective Owner’s Manual.

Installation and Connections  
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the  
following and pages 4 to 6 of this manual thoroughly for  
proper use.  
Caution  
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.  
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical  
skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer  
where you purchased this product to have the work done.  
Warning  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.  
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product  
damage.  
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM  
SECURELY.  
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than  
designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not  
securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become  
loose resulting in hazards or product failure.  
DO NOT CONNECT A POWER SUPPLY OTHER THAN A DC  
12V NEGATIVE GROUND TYPE.  
Failure to do so may result in accident or fire.  
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE  
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.  
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to  
electrical shorts.  
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR  
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.  
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the hatch  
covers or engine covers) or sharp or pointed edges. This will  
prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes  
through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s  
insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.  
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.  
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other  
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of  
the wire and result in fire or electric shock.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR  
DUST.  
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of  
moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may  
result in product failure.  
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.  
When drilling holes in the hull for installation, take precautions so  
as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or  
electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.  
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE  
REACH OF CHILDREN.  
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,  
consult a physician immediately.  
Precautions  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before  
installing your CDA-9886M. This will reduce any chance of  
damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.  
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER  
BOAT OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR  
THROTTLE CONTROLS.  
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.  
and results in serious accident.  
Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the  
diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to  
malfunction or damage to the boat’s electrical system.  
When making connections to the boat’s electrical system, be  
aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board  
computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this  
unit. When connecting the CDA-9886M to the fuse box, make  
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDA-9886M has the  
appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to  
the unit and/or the boat. When in doubt, consult your Alpine  
dealer.  
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN  
SURROUNDING OBJECTS.  
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to  
prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or  
hang up on places such as the steering wheel, throttle controls, etc.  
can be extremely hazardous.  
The CDA-9886M uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to  
other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may  
need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your  
authorized Alpine dealer for assistance.  
Be sure to connect the speaker (–) leads to the speaker (–)  
terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to  
each other or to the boat body.  
IMPORTANT  
SERIAL NUMBER:  
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided
